Everybody, Meet the Lads:
From left to right you got Tim, Kyle, Chris
These three guys are from Ireland and came to Israel about a week after we did. They are living in the Jerusalem at the Nazarene church and working on a research project.
These guys are awesome, and we love them dearly. They go wayyyyyyy back. Kyle and Chris have been friends since 1st grade, and Tim joined in around 8th grade. Super cool.
Back in Ireland, Kyle hatched a plan to try to develop ways impoverished families with little or no land can sustain themselves. The answer: Aquaponics. Aquaponics is like hydroponics, except more natural and more sustainable. He got Tim and Chris in on it and did a trial run in Ireland that went great. With such great results, they were able to get funding to come do some trial runs here, where it’s hot and dry.
That’s kind of how they hooked up with the Nazarene church here. The Nazarene church is letting them conduct there research on the their roof and letting them live there. In exchange, the three have taken over running church stuff while the pastor is back in the states raising support, which happens to be the church we attend and that’s our we met them
We have had some great times and talks with these three and they will be missed.
Check out their projects on FB: search “Aquaponics Research” and like it.
